Changes in the choice of track:
We changed the song to 'A Perfect Day, Elise' by the same artist, PJ Harvey. We chose this song instead because we felt that this song has a better transitions of song (different beats) than the previous song choice. Also it will be pretty difficult to find a suitable young girl to be in the video.
We then analysed the the lyrics in order to help us with storyboarding. We came up with loads of ideas and themes. We then watched the original music video together as we wanted to know how they interpreted it and we also did not want to overlap ideas.
This is the original music video:
Shot styles and ideas we have in mind:
We love the idea of fish eye ball shots. It looked as if someone watching from a public point of view about domestic violence and take no action to it or it could be that it was from the main character's eye where she revealing her past. We wanted the ambiguity in our music video. We want audience to draw into our abstract music video and make up their own narration in their own way. We want them think. The reason behind it is because we are trying to sell the her song through the music video. We want the audience to draw into the music video and be on her side.
We also like the idea of focus pull to reinforce the ambiguity to the audience.
This is the video which Vlad showed us.
So the main themes we decided to include in the music video are domestic violence, water (cleansing the past/washing away), hands ( representing violence/torture) and cross (signifying religion).

- There's a load of double meanings in this...'Hitting on the girl' (as in way hay wink wink get in there boy) as opposed to 'HITTING on the girl' (should be slightly obvious - the guy hitting her).
- So there's a load of violent themes in here and sexuality issues.
- And I reckon she's got a thing against God...she seems to be attacking religion in reference to 'God is the sweat running down HIS back' - the guy is powerful because God is helping him but not her. -According to Sophia Kounopias.
